WEBVTT 33"VOTES FOR...VOTES AGAINST..OK" DECISIONS COMING DOWN TONIGHT ON THE CITY'S ALCOHOL ORDINANCE..3BANNING ALCOHOL ON TYBEE BEACHES. TONIGHT THE CITY COUNCIL READ AND VOTED ON A PROPOSAL THAT WOULD DO JUST THAT. WJCL'S ASHLEY LIOTUS WAS AT THAT MEETING ON TYBEE TONIGHT...WHERE THE DEBATE GOT PRETTY HEATED.3SHANNON, DALE...A HEATED DEBATE FOR SURE. THE COUNCIL VOTED 4-3 IN FAVOR OF THIS PROPOSED ORDINANCE FOR THE FIRST READING. IT TARGETS THE POPULAR EVENT "ORANGE CRUSH" BUT SOME RESIDENTS SAY THIS PENALIZES THE THE ORDINANCE WOULD BAN ALCOHOL IN MARCH, APRIL, AND THE BEGINNING OF MAY. IT WOULD INCLUDE CONSUMING ALCOHOL ON TYBEE BEACHES AND IN NEARBY PARKING LOTS. WHILE MANY BELIEVE áSOMETHINGá MUST BE DONE TO DETER PEOPLE COMING FOR SPRING BREAK, SOME TYBEE RESIDENTS FEEL IT ISN'T FAIR TO áTHEMá.3:00 JULIE LIVINGSTON - TYBEE CITY COUNCIL :09 JOHN BRANIGIN - TYBEE RESIDENT "I THINK WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING, I HAVE TO AGREE WITH THAT.WERE GOING TO BE SITTING HERE AFTER SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING SOON." "I JUST DON'T FEEL THE RIGHT WAY TO APPROACH THIS IS TO PENALIZE RESIDENTS AND VISITORS WHO ARE NOT VIOLATING ANY LAWS OR CREATING PROBLEMS, BUT NOW WERE GOING TO BE HIT WITH RESTRICTIONS ON WHAT WE CAN AND CANT DO.3OTHER EVENTS LIKE THE TYBEE WINE FESTIVAL AND BEACH BUM PARADE COULD BE IMPACTED AS WELL.3AGAIN THIS WAS ONLY THE FIRST READING FOR THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE...GUYS.ASHLEY WHEN IS THE CITY PLANNING TO HOLD ITS SECOND AND FINAL READING ON THIS ISSUE? THE SECOND READING WILL COME AT THE NEXT MEETING -- THAT WILL BE ON THE SECOND THURSDAY OF FEBRUARY.ASHLEY LIOTUS, REPORTING ON TYBEE ISLAND TONIGHT.THANKS ASHLEY33
